Fourteenth Strike - [Action | Voice - Backdated to the 26th]

[Now that the rain has stopped, Presea can be seen wandering around the village rather late in the afternoon. She had just came back from the forest, carrying stray sticks and pieces of wood in her arms. If she couldn't cut wood, then the only thing she could really do was to use already fallen pieces to make some wooden figurines. Those seemed to

[This poor, unfortunate soul has no idea what's to come. He's been reading up on how to carve charms and such for Presea's Key Crest when he realizes that she's cooked something for dinner. He's not really hungry, and she wouldn't get offended if he didn't show up... But he might as well.

So, he arrives at the kitchen... And the smell immediately makes him frown deeply.]

... Presea.

[not_klonoa]

[Kratos is just in time to catch Presea setting the table, letting the soup heat up while she did. She heard Kratos coming, but looks up at him when she's addressed. His frown should have bothered her, but obviously it doesn't.]

Dinner.

[salvationfound]

I... see that it is.

[He'll be fine. He hasn't tried tomatoes in a long time. Maybe his aversion to them has dampened since then... Maybe the Malnosso took it away when he arrived. It's not like he and Lloyd tried them when he was still here.

As he sits, though, the corner of his mouth twitches, as if to suppress a grimace.]

[Any normal person would have asked what was the matter, and why Kratos looked so uncomfortable, but...Presea's not exactly what you would call normal. Seeing him take a seat registers in her mind that he'd be dining with her, so Presea fills his bowl first and presents it to him. There's even a nice piece of warm bread to go with it, too.

Ah, what a nice meal~]

[If one of Presea's trips to the forest would have brought her around house 42, she might pass by Raine doing some minor tending to the garden.]

[not_klonoa]

[Though she's not one to wander too far from her usual route, Presea did want a better understand of Luceti's geography. She hears Raine before she sees her, and looks idly at her.

Setting down the pieces of wood she collected for her charms and figures, Presea moves over towards the woman.]

[wise_maiden]

[Raine glances up from weeding the flower garden when she hears Presea's approach, and smiles faintly when she notices the quiet girl.] ... Hello, Presea.

[not_klonoa]

Hello. [Presea doesn't ask what Raine's doing. It's obvious that the woman was gardening, but Presea does peer at said garden to inspect what Raine was trying to grow.]

[action] how did I miss this

[corrinesbell]

[will probably catch Presea on her way home, since they're neighbors]

Hey, Presea.

[action]

[not_klonoa]

[Presea looks up, stopping. Her little red wagon creaks to a halt, sagging a little under the weight of her new battle axe.]

Hello.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Where'd you find that axe?

[action]

[not_klonoa]

...Smithy. [Presea looks back at the large and beautiful axe, and picks it up to show Sheena. It was definitely the Gaia Cleaver, the emerald battle axe that used to belong to her father long ago.]
